Is NAC clawing its way up the slope of enlightenment?

2008-05-01 23:14:27 by HASH0x8b78dd4 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
Its no secret that over the past year it has been quite fashionable to bash NAC. It has not lived up to the hype. It is not the promised silver bullet. Some companies in the market went belly up. Yes, yes and true. But as I have said all along this was I think just the natural evolution of a technology as it matures. There was no way it could...

Maybe the NAC used car salesman can claim them as a customer too? In NAC quality counts!

2008-06-27 23:36:27 by HASH0x8b0a5c4 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
Dark Reading had a good article today talking about GuideWorks , the TV Guide/Comcast joint venture's 2 year odyssey with NAC, which finds them finally starting to see some good results. I immediately went to the website of the NAC used car salesman to see if they claimed them as a NAC customer too, but didn't see anything yet. But with those...

What's holding back NAC?

2008-03-22 01:39:00 by JJ in Security Uncorked
 
Weve all been watching some of the pioneering NAC vendors domino down over the past several months. The Lockdown tumble has some questioning the industry again, and as Alan notes , these happenings fuel the fires of NACs nay-sayers. (In my opinion, its like throwing metal onto open flame may affect the metal, wont feed the flame, makes for great...

Companies getting the knack of NAC

2008-07-21 07:43:53 by HASH0x8b51fac in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
For too long we have heard the NAC knockers bad mouthing the benefits of NAC and bemoaning its lack of adoption. I have always believed that much of this was marketing spin and that companies were finding NAC highly useful. Typical hype cycle kind of stuff. At the end of the day though nothing speaks like real world references by customers...

Symantec takes a fling it on the wall approach to NAC

2008-07-29 06:49:15 by HASH0x8cbd290 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
I was reading Tim Greene's column this morning about Symantec 's new on demand web log in for guests as part of their SNAC appliance offering. I have to admit that even I who follows the NAC market and competition pretty closely, get pretty confused with all of the different offerings Symantec has come out with around NAC. Symantec seems to be...

Shimel - the NAC prophet?

2008-02-29 07:13:27 by HASH0x8b6a3a0 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
I saw an article up in ComputerWorld by Greg Schaffer today called NAC: now or later . I have spoken to Greg several times so wanted to see what he had to say. The article was about NAC standards and mentioned and quoted Steve Hanna (can you have an article on NAC standards without Steve?) and for the first time that I have seen in print,...

The many faces of NAC

2008-07-02 09:55:52 by HASH0x8b69e00 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
For a long time I have been writing and speaking about the many ways that NAC can help with securing your endpoints and your network. Yesterday, Tim Greene lays out some good reasons for NAC and the many ways it can help. However, he couches it in terms of NAC as a personal firewall. I am not sure I agree with that one at all. Personal firewalls...
